For the ill and the absent-minded -

Here, you will find a very brief summary of class discussions and activities, lists of assigned readings, and links to other resources. The posts are reminders of what we covered in class and/or of what you missed by being absent physically and/or mentally. If we are required to work remotely, the posts will give directions for the day's activities, and let you know when we will meet via Google Meets. Please read the posts, talk with your classmates, and do the practise work as it suits the timing at home. Please put all work in your digital folders via Google Drive. Feel free to make comments and if you're still confused, please email me!

(NB: I do not condone class absences - you must be present, in class, actively listening and participating whenever possible. Always communicate your absences with the school office as well as with me. It is your responsibility to make arrangements for missed learning opportunities. You MUST meet all assignment deadlines. If we have to meet via Google Meets, please make a note of the QR link posted in Room 205 for the meeting id and passwords.)

B - The one conferences and literary criticism and adapted versions of texts.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is the value in constructive/literary criticism?

We did some conferencing to decide what I'd report on your Learning Update.

Learners posted their adapted versions of their scenes from The Belle Strategem and we took parts to read them aloud. (Really fantastic!)

Brianna introduced John Dryden and spoke briefly about his Preface to Fables Ancient and Modern. 

REFLECT: (be ready to offer your thoughts on these questions)

  • What makes a story worth telling?
  • How do modern adaptations compare to what Dryden was doing? 
NEXT CLASS: Recall what I said about Dryden's contribution to the literary canon, Three Women Poets of the 18th century (Samantha)
